My boyfriend and I are expecting our first child this April. We've been on the search for homes here in Florida (where we are currently living) and finding it way too expensive to live. Where is an inexpensive (and safe) place in the U.S. to live?
Please keep in mind that in Camden, NJ there are homes for 14k but they are on .03 acres of land and aren't exactally safe... so I'm not looking for a place where my daughter won't be able to play in the backyard.
I have family in Delaware, Maryland and Virgina (but havn't really found inexpensive towns in those areas.)
Also, my boyfriend works in computers. Living outside of a metro area would be ideal, but can't live somewhere that would make his commute unbearable!
Thanks so much!

By the by, my boyfriend and I have only been together for 3 months... please stop telling us to get married. My daughter isn't his... and the reason I'm not with her father is none of anyone's business.

Amarillo, Texas is a delightful, mid sized city. the city is certainly watered, in spite of the actual incontrovertible fact that the encircling nation-state is dry. human beings there are friendly, site visitors strikes properly. The community gives you way of existence, all mandatory procuring, good healthcare, and a existence like value of living. no longer precisely TN, NC, or WA, yet provide it a glance. you would be pleasantly shocked! (I even have spent some time in TN, in rural aspects, and located the human beings to be very closed to outsiders, making it an inexpensive, yet lonely, place to stay. can no longer communicate to WA or NC from own journey...) Small city existence (inhabitants below 1500) could be inexpensive, yet undergo in recommendations which you will constantly be a newcomer, and it rather is often perplexing. in case you have on no account lived in a genuine small city, be specific that's what you quite need. yet another selection you will possibly be able to evaluate is to stay to tell the tale a farm. In my own journey, the townfolk manage newcomer farmers with slightly greater admire than they do people who may be "townies". undergo in recommendations your place employer might go through in rural communities by way of adverse information superhighway get admission to and absence of community shoppers. delight on your quest!

If i was in your shoes, which I have been, I would move to Chattanooga,TN. I am a Real Estate Investor in Denver and have heard great things are going on down there. Mtns and water and mild climate and cheap property. Buy now and in 10 years when you have 100K in equity in your home you will thank me. Oh, its a decent size town, so a computer job should be easy to find.

You have three choices in real estate: safe, cheap and close. You can get two out of the three. So, you can get safe and cheap, but it won't be close. Or you can get cheap and close, but it won't be safe. Or you can get safe and close, but it won't be cheap. It sounds like you need safe and cheap more than you need close, but that's up to you to decide. If your bf works in computers, eventually you can afford something better, and then you can choose safe and close.
That said, try reading the book, "Places Rated Almanac." It tells you everything about every metro area in the country, so you can choose something that fits both of you.
Oh, and, hey, how about getting married? I know it's chic not to, but your baby will appreciate the stability of knowing you're a family.

I would contact a nation wide realtor like Century21 or Remax and ask them the same question you posted here.

I agree with Katherine W, especially the getting married part.
